The idea is to split the current trade system into two distinct channels to stop rare posts from getting buried.
The first channel would be Trade Requests, a strictly moderated feed where you can only post specific buying, selling, or converting offers. No chatting or negotiating is allowed here.
The second channel would be Trade Chat, which functions exactly like the system we have now. It would automatically pull in every message from the Request channel, but it also allows for tagging, price negotiations, and general talk.
While it might take players a little while to adjust to the new rules, this system ensures that actual trade listings stay visible for much longer while still giving everyone a place to discuss deals.

Gave some more thinking, actually trade chat #2 does not need to copy in msgs from chat #1, in chat #1 when someone posts a msg there should be a reply button which will automatically post your reply (and visible what you replied too) in chat #2 this will help that you must check chat #1 for actual trades and just sit in in chat #2
